[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My girlfriend of 6 months is amazing. She fits me so well and is an amazing person. We are older and have talked about where we see things headed - we both want marriage and kids. Her lease is up, so I asked her if she wants to move in with me. She said no, fearing moving in too quickly will allow us to become complacent with the situation. She isn’t looking to take that next step without getting engaged first. I understand her side, but feel living together will not only make us a stronger couple, but will help us really see if this relationship is forever. I believe you have to live with someone to really know if you can live with them longterm. She is not budging, and I feel six months is too soon to make such a huge commitment. [/quote]

Disagree.  People who live together first have a higher divroce rate because they tend to just fall into marraige as the logical "next step" instead of really thinking about the relationship.  [/quote]

No, it’s because people who don’t live together before marriage tend to be more religious and don’t like the idea of divorce. [/quote]

No, it's not. There are studies. Living together before marriage and engagement creates more divorces.

[quote]On average, researchers concluded that couples who lived together before they tied the knot saw a 33 percent higher rate of divorce than those who waited to live together until after they were married. Part of the problem was that cohabitors, studies suggested, “slid into” marriage without much consideration.[/quote]
